<h1>Welcome to Archetype</h1>

<ul>
	<li>This is a simple slide demo application aimed to help you
	handle some Archetype principles.</li>

	<li>Most of the CSS and HTML comes from the "Slidy" application
	available on the W3C website: <a
		href="http://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/Slidy/" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/Slidy/</a>.</li>

	<li>All the Slidy Javascript code has been rewritten to use
	Archetype. This is a very simple implementation with way less feature
	than the original version. However, this a good example of how an
	application can work using Archetype. You may notice that pure
	Javascript application isn't the main goal of Archetype, but it is
	damnly easy to do some!</li>

	<li>Archetype is designed to rely on a transport layer like <a
		href="http://getahead.org/dwr" target="_blank">DWR</a> to communicate
	with the server for business logic, but as it is based upon <a
		href="http://prototypejs.org">Prototype</a>, you can use it's
	excellent Ajax and JSON support (as we do internally in the Framework)
	to communicate easily with the server too.</li>

	<li>We also recommend to use:
	<ul>
		<li>Some good Javascript editor, like <a
			href="http://www.aptana.com/" target="_blank">Aptana</a>, to
		efficiently edit yout Javascript, HTML and CSS files and easily find
		bugs</li>
		<li>A good debugging browser like <a
			href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/" target="_blank">Firefox</a>
		with the <a href="http://getfirebug.com" target="_blank">FireBug
		extension</a></li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Let's start with some basical principle of a standard
	Archetype Application by writing your first one :)</li>
